INEXPENSIVE IDEA TO HELP RID HOME OF PLASTICS!

Sorry to be posting about plastics again, but found some helpful solutions for you all.

Found a great inexpensive way to help rid home of plastics. Lets start with spices. Since most spices are in plastics and many are in containers that are one of the "unsafe" numbers ( see prior post) , we purchased baby food jars at a discount store for .30 each (applesauce-so they will not go to waste) and they just need to be washed,labels removed and re-labeled and the spices transferred. These make great spice jars!

Now for storing food. Canning jars! I use the small ones for storing leftovers like potatoes, veggies, etc. and am planning on using those to send food to school from now on. Yes, the kids containers are the "unsafe" plastics so those have to go straight in the garbage. The large canning jars are great to store soups.

As I come across more inexpensive ideas I will share. If anyone has anything else to add, please feel free.

Oh..another "bad" plastic my daughter found today is a shocker..Vaseline...she uses it for chapped lips...no more!
